Crochet is a process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials using a crochet hook.

The name is derived from the French term "crochet", meaning small hook.

These are made of materials such as metal, wood, or plastic and are manufactured commercially and produced in artisan workshops.

The salient difference between crochet and knitting, beyond the implements used for their production, is that each stitch in crochet is completed before proceeding with the next one, while knitting keeps a large number of stitches open at a time.

(Variant forms such as Tunisian crochet and broomstick lace keep multiple crochet stitches open at a time).

Do it yourself (DIY) is the method of building, modifying, or repairing things without the direct aid of experts or professionals.

Academic research describes DIY as behaviors where "individuals engage raw and semi-raw materials and component parts to produce, transform, or reconstruct material possessions, including those drawn from the natural environment (e.g. landscaping)".

DIY behavior can be triggered by various motivations previously categorized as marketplace motivations (economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality, need for customization), and identity enhancement (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness).

Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulated to create a textile or fabric.

Knitting creates multiple loops of yarn, called stitches, in a line or tube.

Knitting has multiple active stitches on the needle at one time.

Knitted fabric consists of a number of consecutive rows of interlocking loops.

As each row progresses, a newly created loop is pulled through one or more loops from the prior row, placed on the gaining needle, and the loops from the prior row are then pulled off the other needle.

Sewing is the craft of fastening or attaching objects using stitches made with a needle and thread.

Sewing is one of the oldest of the textile arts, arising in the Paleolithic era.

Before the invention of spinning yarn or weaving fabric, archaeologists believe Stone Age people across Europe and Asia sewed fur and skin clothing using bone, antler or ivory needles and "thread" made of various animal body parts including sinew, catgut, and veins.

A pattern, apart from the term's use to mean "", is a discernible regularity in the world or in a manmade design.

As such, the elements of a pattern repeat in a predictable manner.

A geometric pattern is a kind of pattern formed of geometric shapes and typically repeating like a wallpaper.
